Practice works, correct practice works even better

A former student came by today of a lesson after a one-year absence. He played some stride piano. He sounded so much better than I remember. So, I start asking some questions about what he has been up to in the practice room.

He said:

1. I really wanted to improve
2. I practice with a metronome
3. I listen to great players
4. I practice a lot
5. I practice my scales and stuff

​Yeah student!

​Cheers,
